Hi, Perhaps I am late for connecting with this group but perhaps there is no such thing as never too late. At 39, 30 yrs ago I had my 1st seizure (maybe) w/ 3 kids not being able to drive was the worst thing I could think of. Having the seizure because of a stroke (?) wasn't great either but that was ruled out but permanent right side weakness occurred. After 12 mos I did get to drive again but finally 7 years later after my 3rd accident they found out I was having continuous generalized seizures and took away my license I was angry later called highway patrol officer and thanked him who knows whose lives he may have saved. I've dealt with severe depression but finally have gotton to the point where I am like I same I am no different than a doctor with a really crappy day with a whole lot less money and goodies but frankly thats life. I got a VNS implant 5yrs ago and the intermittent "shakes" are gone. I turn 70 in a few months my kid once 8,10 &13 are all in their 40s nearly 50 yrs of marriage and a lot of up and down there too life hasn't been easy so I realize all of you coping with epilepsy especially those with grand mal and more complicated mine probably seems like a walk in the park so whether you are at the beginning or middle or don't know where (like me) well ==== Leslie == Oh if you are diabetic, with eye problems, GI problems, Kidney, back, == well I here for all that too. I kind of have cornucopia of issues. 🙂
